A poll / discussion on server glitch exploits (not hacking)
DYLANzzz:
Let me throw out a definition first of all...
Exploiting as defined in the realm of this topic is using any glitch (some game mechanic not meant to occur) to your advantage
Hacking would be creating something for specifically malicious or otherwise taking apart a server (like a radar or aimbot which we are NOT discussing)
Just curious on everyone's opinion on glitch exploiting.
It's pretty obvious that exploiting degrades the server to everyone else who's playing on it.
The other side of the coin is that it can be hella fun/funny for the exploiter, can give an advantage, and depending on the exploit, might even be skill related.
This isn't a black and white question so I added a few options to the poll to give the different range of feelings.
Discuss your opinions on server exploits
Personally, I think exploits are cool when they add a sense of skill to a gamemode and almost enhance it more. It would be cool if more modders embraced their exploits even coding so that they become "stable" exploits if their players enjoy them.

A lot of challenge servers use the glitches as a needed skill in the server.

There's even a default gamemode that uses them.
I think they're fun.
MARBLE MAN:
What about exploiting client commands to see hidden bricks?
Or scripts to make other challenges easier?
